Question
The boxer Nigel Benn usually entered the ring to a reggae tune called 'Dangerous'. Could you tell me who recorded it?
Steve,
I haven't seen Nigel Benn fight, (respect to Lennox Lewis for using "Crazy Baldheads") so I can't say what the song is with certainty. If it's a dancehall-style tune, it might be "Dangerous" by Chaka Demus and Pliers. If you go to an online cd site, you can probably run a search for it, listen to a sample, and decide if it's the one.

A performing musician for 20 years, I have traveled extensively in Jamaica and England as well as the USA, always with an eye and an ear for music.

In the early 80s I conducted interviews and wrote for numerous underground music magazines: Paranoia, Flipside, etc. More recently I have written about sports for Bartcop.com
